The first Fullmetal Alchemist movie returns to the UK as part of a DVD double-pack with The Sacred Star of Milos, Nazis and all.

I really liked Conqueror of Shamballa. I thought it was a fitting end to the series, and I got a kick out of seeing the real-world counterparts of various FMA characters

King Bradley as Fritz Lang? Heh!

. It did feel a bit rushed at the end as they tried to wrap everything up though, I'd have liked another 15 mins or so to flesh things out. The first series always felt like a more personal tragedy compared to the epic scope of Brotherhood, and Shamballa continued that tone to the end. Some great music as well! It definitely seems quite divisive though, my best mate who loved FMA really didn't like Shamballa.

Interesting that this has the 2nd disc from that Collectors edition, I've only got the single disc Revelation release. I intend to grab the Blu-ray when I have some more cash, does it have all the special features from the 2nd disc as well?

The Blu-Ray isn't out until December now, but as far as I'm aware it'll contain all the same extras as the DVD release.
